We divide 282877 by 40
Our goal is to divide 282877 by 40.

Step 1:
The number 40 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 28 / 40

On to step 2:
If we divide 28 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 28.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 28 leaves us with 28.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 282 / 40

Advancing to step 3:
The number 40 fits into 282 7 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7.0
Deduct 280 from 282 and we're left with 2.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 28 / 40

Step 4:
When dividing 28 by 40, we get 0 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 70.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 0 from 28.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 28, then repeat: 287 / 40

Going ahead to step 5:
40 goes into 287 7 times with a remainder of 7.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 707.0
Subtracting 280 from 287 leaves us with 7.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 77 / 40

Advancing to step 6:
40 goes into 77 1 times with a remainder of 37.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7071.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 40 from 77.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Step 7:
40 goes into 370 9 times with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 7071.9
If we take 360 away from 370, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 100 by 40, we get 2 and a remainder of 20.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7071.92
If we take 80 away from 100, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
200 divided by 40 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7071.925
Subtracting 200 from 200 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 40 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7071.925
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 0 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 7071.925
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 7071.925, and the remainder is 0.0.
